Hi, don't worry about white cabled Lunar's, mine is a white cabled variety. Interesting to note they where the first Lunar's.<br />

A quick recce this morning and all I can find is a Mathmos sticker - damn!<p style="text-align: left;"><img width="358" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3126996693?profile=RESIZE_480x480" alt=""/></p>

Hi all,<br />
<br />
Sorry for the UBER late response. Thanks for the feedback though, particularly from Paul and Bohdan - much appreciated. I've since seen a couple of Lunars on ebay with similar characteristics i.e. white cables and dimmer switches, so that's a relief! Just bought a new violet/red bottle for it and given it a full polish (it was covered in dirt/grease/finger prints when I first picked it up), and it looks amazing! Sooo glad I've finally got my hands on one now!<br />
<br />
Anyways, cheers all!

Fancy paying as much as that for a Lunar!!<br />
Quite genuinely, we bought a Lunar with lovely clear deep blue liquid and purple/red wax at a boot sale in Taunton last October. Apart from a small dent in the nose cone, it's in excellent condition all round. It's got Crestworth (stamped I think) on one of the legs and looks a treat when we fire it up (with the original bulb still working).<br />
Takes ages to get going though, doesn't it?<br />

The sellers were so pleased that we wanted it that they said they'd delivery it to our home if necessary (because it was heavy!) - but once we'd paid, there was no way I was going to let it out of my hands!<br />
The price - a princely £30!<br />

There is no crestworth logo, it's got a white lunar/mathmos sticker on one of the legs, and a vertically aligned mathmos logo on the top cap...<br />
<br />
It's hard to say whether it was a violet/red, because there is NO trace of violet colour at all.

I also have a lunar, I bought it second hand several years ago - the owner was selling it because their dog had chewed the cable. I replaced the cable and it's now a wonderful centre-piece in my lounge.<br />
<br />
The bottle is a clear liquid and red lava. As far as I can tell, this is fairly uncommon?<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, the clear liquid is now rather opaque. I'm not sure if it's because it's been left in the sun in its past, or just because it's old. Anyway, I live in Australia, so I doubt there is any…
